We crunched the data to find promising careers with big salaries. Here’s what to study to land something lucrative.
Each year, Canadian Business identifies the most promising careers in the country, based on rates of hiring, median salary and wage growth. How do you get one of these gigs? Read on!1. Utilities manager There is no bachelor’s degree in utilities management. But overseeing the delivery of important services—including water, electricity and heating—does require some type of post-secondary training along with years of service.

6. Health care manager Like other manager jobs on this list, there isn’t a singular educational path to this career.

8. Banking and credit manager Studying business or economics is probably the best way to land a role managing money at a bank or credit union. When it comes to business schools in Canada, there are plenty of good options. If you are interested in a banking career, a school with a built-in work-term or internship requirement could be helpful to get financial services experience well before graduation.
